Talk to the staff who work the boxes and the bartenders who are in the Chrysler Club.
If a 1000 less people are NOT spending $100 a game, with pre-season that's almost $5 mil a year in revenue.

You can see this with where corporate tickets end up. These days it's not the VP of Operations and the Head of Sales heading down to the dome to shmooze and drop $100 each. The tickets are getting handed down to Diane in HR, who goes with her boyfriend and they buy a beer and hot dog each.
